If possible, please post the nutritional info for the recipe you share!

If you are looking for info on the Keto diet, check out the r/keto sub reddit! There is a ton of information about the Keto lifestyle, information for beginners and other recipes there!

Remember what foods and ingredients are acceptable on the ketogenic diet, we have to remove some posts from time to time that have non-keto-friendly ingredients in them (sugar, potatoes, etc...). If you are unsure, message the mods.

Please post your recipes as a link to the source or original post. If you would like, include the recipe as the first comment (just in case the URL changes or is removed). If the original recipe is from a fellow Redditor, please credit their name. :)

If you are requesting a recipe, please put [REQUEST] in your title.

If your recipe is just a few meats and vegetables tossed in a pan, try to provide an ingredient list, the method of cooking (sauteed, fried, broiled, etc...) and the temperature/amount of time necessary to make the dish. Please be detailed as some people may be new to cooking.

If you purchased a good keto-friendly snack, please be sure to note which store you bought it from and any other information that may be necessary for other ketoers to locate the product.

Report posts if they do not have recipes, that way they won't show up on the subreddit until OP provides a recipe.

Last, but not least: Please be kind and courteous to one another and the moderators. This is a community of sharing and caring! Report any rude or abusive behaviors, comments, or posts.

Growing up in the South, I drank sweet(ened) tea, but transitioned to unsweet(ened). Similarly, to get to the point of liking coffee black wasn't a big deal. I don't know why you would be wanting to put what I see as wasteful (empty?) calories into something when you could easily go without.

I don't taste it in my coffee, but it's the extra, very healthy fats in MCT oils that make them a pretty wonderful add-in to your morning coffee or tea. MCTs aren't sweeteners at all, and I would certainly not consider the addition of some oil at all wasteful.

With all due respect, you are a 22yo with numerous health problems. What qualifies you to say that the addition of this to coffee is of benefit? Did you use this prior to beginning your keto diet a couple of months ago?

Additionally, herearesomestudies about the beneficial effects of MCTs on metabolism and obesity.

If that's somehow not sufficient, I'd be happy to provide more at a time when I'm not so busy.

Being relatively young with a number of lifelong health problems means that I spend quite a bit of time trying to learn about things that might help to improve my quality of life. (Edit for formatting)

I beg to differ. Coconut oil is extremely high in saturated fats. For the past thirty-plus years, saturated fats have been considered unhealthy, and contributors to coronary artery disease. Oils on the other side of the spectrum (polyunsaturated ones, such as safflower and canola) have been considered the more healthy options. Only recently has there been any noise to the contrary, that saturated fats may not be as harmful as conventional wisdom dictates. This is the stuff of intensive study currently. At stake is the understanding of human biology, nutrition, and medicine, pertaining to the #1 cause of death in the United States. This is bigger than cancer research, and is knowledge in flux. The answers aren't found in "homework."
